POKEMON GOLD AND SILVER WALKTHROUGH

Walk (or Fly) back to Ecruteak City and head east, picking up an Ultra Ball before you reach the water. You can head into Mt Mortar, or you can just Surf across the water. There's some rather common Pokemon like Machop and Zubat in Mt Mortar, but you can get a few items like an Ether and a Guard Spec. You'll need someone with Flash so you can see as well. The real secret to Mt Mortar can be accessed once you have HM07 - Waterfall. Check out the Optional Area walkthrough for more information.

Alternatively, if you take the outdoors way, you can get a Super Potion and if you have someone who knows Cut, you can get three new Apricorns for Kurt. In any case, keep heading east and you'll reach Mahogany Town. You'll notice the east exit is blocked by a saleman and the gym is blocked by some random fat guy, so heal at the Pokemon Center and head north through the gatehouse.

From here, you can take the west path through the grass, or you can pay $1000 to go through the gatehouse. There's a Max Ether by the toll gate, as well as a berry bush across the water (You'll need Cut).

Eventually you should reach the actual lake. Ensure that you have some Pokeballs with you and head across to the middle of the lake. You'll notice a Pokemon floating around there, so examine it and you'll be attacked by a red Gyarados! If you didn't already know, there are some very rare Pokemon that have different colours from what they usually have, and they are commonly called "Shinies" because sparkly stars appears when you send them into battle. You should try to catch this Gyarados as the chances of finding another one like it are very low.

Regardless of whether you faint or catch it, you'll receive a Red Scale. Head back to land and talk to the person that has appeared by the sign - this is Lance, the Pokemon League Champion. Offer to help, and he'll teleport back to Mahogany Town. Before you follow him, there's some treasure hunting to do. You can now return at anytime to the Lake of Rage by using Fly.

From the Lake, head south, but stick to the west. You'll see a fisher standing on a land bridge between two patches of water, so follow this path north. You'll need someone with Cut here. Don't forget to use the Itemfinder around here, because there's lots of hidden items. They're mostly found in long narrow passages that lead to a dead end. Some items you can get are a Rare Candy, Full Restore, Max Ether, TM43 - Detect and inside the house, TM10 - Hidden Power. If today is Wednesday, Wesley should also be around here to give you a Blackbelt, which increases the power of Fighting-type moves by 10%. Head back to Mahogany Town.

In Mahogany Town, head to the Mart. Lance will open up a hidden stairway into the depths of the Rockets' Headquarters. In here, walking past the Persian statues triggers an alarm that causes Rocket members to come in and attack. There's also some traps on the far west side where you'll be attacked by a whole lot of Pokemon who know Self-Destruct (You can catch them too, by the way). If you decide to go the longer, non-trap way, you can pick up an X Accuracy, a Hyper Potion and a Nugget. The stairs to the next floor down are in the bottom-left corner, where you'll also find a teleport pad that will return you to the beginning.

In the next room, Lance will heal your Pokemon. Continue on, fighting off the Rockets. The door needs the boss's password, and the boss's password is in the boss's room, which needs two passwords to unlock. So go on a hunt to find the two Rockets who will grant you access. On the next floor, the female Rocket in the room immediately above you will tell you one password (Slowpoketail) once you beat her, and also the Rocket in the bottom left room when you beat him (Raticate Tail). You can also grab a Full Heal and Dire Hit in this room. Search around the remainder of the floor for an Ice Heal and a Protein, then head down the stairs in the top right corner.

Follow the path (You can grab TM46 - Thief by heading up some stairs) and you'll eventually be stopped by your rival, who will complain about Lance. Blah. Head through the door (You'll automatically enter the two passwords) and defeat the Rocket inside. Once you've beaten him, talk to the Murkrow by the computer to get the boss's password to the first room (Hail Giovanni). So head all the way back, and two Rockets will show up. Lance will take care of one, and you'll need to battle the other. After the battle, Lance will blab on about more things, and then he'll tell you to faint (or catch them if you want) the three Electrode on the left-side of the generator. You'll stop the weird signal, save the day, and earn HM06 - Whirlpool.

With the Rockets gone, you can head inside Mahogany Gym. You'll notice that it's covered in ice that will make you slide in the same direction until you collide with a wall, or stop on a non-frozen tile. To get to Pryce, use this path:

Mahogany Town Gym: Pryce Speciality: Ice	Pokemon	Level	Type	Moves
	Seel	Level 27	Water	Headbutt Icy Wind Aurora Beam Rest
	Dewgong	Level 29	Water/Ice	Headbutt Icy Wind Aurora Beam Rest
	Piloswine	Level 31	Ice/Ground	Icy Wind Fury Attack Mist Blizzard
This could be difficult if you're unlucky. A good electric attack should be able to defeat Dewgong and Seel, and a water Pokemon that knows Surf can resist Piloswine's Ice attacks and deal double damage as its Ground half is weak to water. Alternatively, Steel, Rock, Fighting and Fire attacks are super effective, but Dewgong's Water half resists Steel and Fire-type moves. Blizzard and Ice Beam can cause freezing, so you should have some Ice Heal or Full Heal to counter, while Aurora Beam and Icy Wind lower attack and speed respectively. Don't bring in any Ground, Flying, Dragon or Grass Pokemon.

Pryce will reward you with the Glacier Badge when you defeat him, which raises your Pokemon's Special Attack and Special Defense stats, and allows you to use HM06 - Whirlpool outside of battle. You'll also get TM16 - Icy Wind, which is a weak Ice move that lowers your opponent's speed.
